They include payments in 2007 and 2009, providing the first evidence that Manafort’s firm received at least some money listed in the so-called Black Ledger. Previously, Manafort and Maloni have maintained the ledger was fabricated and said no public evidence existed that Manafort or others received payments recorded in it. But they have previously noted that they have no way of knowing whether Manafort received the money listed next to his name.

Dozens of Ukrainian political figures mentioned in the Black Ledger are under investigation in Ukraine.
